Attending a funeral
Erik ten Hag | 2024/25
- Thread starter Cheimoon
- Start date
I don't think he'll be here for long with performances like this. He has been backed, and the squad is good enough for top 4.
Yes, there is a chance we don't lose this game without Casemiro's mistakes, as Liverpool were clinical, as the xG suggests, but our approach to the game was nowhere near good enough anyways.
It hurts so much that Ole, a better manager, by far the best one post-SAF, was sacked and abused by the fanbase for much less than what both the fanbase and the club are letting ETH get away with, and the latter got way more backing in the market as well. The "PE teacher" narrative clowns would deserve this for another decade tbh.

It was already 0-3 before we got any decent chances, if that's progressing I'd hate to see regression
Not me. I don’t think it’s possible to restore this. Something has been lost in these years and we need a clean break now.
Never thought Id agree with anything that scumbag Carragher says but his comment of seeing what Slot is all about after 3 games while Ten Hag is in his 3rd season and we still have no idea whats going on is spot on.
We are 3 games in 6 points off everyone and hoping Ugarte is a miracle worker in midfield.
Ten Hag will be lucky to see Xmas at this rate. Theres one hell of an argument to give him the boot now during the international break.

Felt he deserved to stay after last season with the ownership and other issues but it’s been an awful start to the season, feel as though it might be time for a change.
Southgate is free.
I wanted him to stay in the summer as I thought it would help with a player clear out rather tha them all getting a clean slate under a new boss but he already looks like a dead man walking and it’s clear from today that the fans won’t be as patient this season.
I was expectant that we might play a high line once Maguire wasn’t playing, yet we seem to be playing the same suicidal tactics as last season - a deep lying defence, a non-existent midfield and barely anything created.
Major red flags for me are the lack fitness, an inability to play the most basic pass to feet and players isolated by the opposition when they receive the ball which leads to risky passes or unforced errors. This has to be down to the coaching.
The issue when you sack him is that we’re left with a load of his players so the process starts again.
He will seal his own fate if he keeps picking Casemiro and Rashford.

We have had a massive clear out, we let go about 17 players this term alone and that is in addition to countless others. It's on him to look at players and judge their readiness and he keeps making selection feck ups. Casemiro has been on a long and painful decline yet he is still starting important matches! These are costly errors that he keeps making.
He is done. You can't keep keep justifying 7-0, 5-0, 3-0 losses.
Ugh. We all know he won't turn it around, right? Does anyone actually believe he will?
It's not working, sorry Erik. Cheers for the FA Cup though.
first day of September, 3 games Lost 2 already on - GD, Mentally Beaten, crowd booing players and subs,
Rinse and repeat with the next manager having to deal with ETH sigings

Yeah it's frustrating when the stats don't back up the agenda isn't it.
They must not have watched the game, and also have no idea how those stats mean duck all when a team goes 3-0 and back off and may allow a chance or two.
Ridiculous
Perhaps... very hard to believe that, in good faith, someone can continue to watch this and come to any other conclusion. But you carry on
I don't know how people think it is going to improve, what is the route to improvement? can he coach the team to improve or is the only route to buy players, and if those players fail like antony and casemiro buy replacements?
Xavi is managing Barca still.
Does spunking 20 million on sacking EtH count against all these finance rules?
I'd get Tuchel in now.
Edit. Yeah totally forgot about Flick to Barca haha

Well, although it's a very small sample, atleast the underlying stats are a bit better this time around. Might just revert back to being utter shit again though as any confidence they might have will be going away.
You don't even need to go that far. I know it in my heart that Emery and Glasner would be doing better. feck it, at this point I even believe that Iraola, O'Neill, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank would be doing better. I mean think of the resources and you could argue all of them are doing better comparatively
Don't want to quote myself but I told before the season that we won't finish higher than 6th. And the main reason is ten Hag. Totally clueless.
I think I ll take Ralf Rangnick back over him.
It's a continuation of last season.
Can't believe the management saw last season and decided not only to keep him, but extended his contract.
Are you serious. Do you think we had more goal scoring opportunities than Liverpool today
The only solace we can take is it was just the one year extension rather than a brand new contract but it was idiotic nonetheless.
It's just painful. We just look devoid of ideas anywhere near the opposition box.
Do something, Jimmy!
I could get behind mangers so much more if they weren’t so devoid of charisma. Like you can just imagine him trying to motivate those players. Absolute goblin. Get in the bin.
100% agree. Everyone you said would be a massive upgrade on ETH, and comparatively are doing orders of magnitude better. I would say, pound for pound, with the resources and backing available, ETH is the worst manager in top league world football currently.
Nobody can honestly think he isn't a man on borrowed time. I think Dyche or him will be the first manager sacked.
Slot is basically saying Ten Hags tactics are shit
He doesn’t understand the English game and is delusional about it.
Our base midfielder is always isolated, we have no one that is capable of keeping the ball, we have no patterns in the final third and we only score goals off of individual brilliance & of 5 our front 6 players have high turnover ratios and we always get burnt on counter attacks.
It’s madness, he needs to go.

Me too. Intrigued by the idea, and fed up of this shit
This is his third year, this is his team now. This is Manchester United and it's absolutely unacceptable. We need to be sounding out managers right now, he is taking us anywhere.
The worst thing about watching United is how this club just loves to waste time.
Ole was obviously out of depth in the first half a year. He was given 3 more years to do nothing but ruin everything further.
This dumb experiment should have been over in the summer. Everyone's at fault. The higher ups, fans, everyone. God the discourse here by the staff members was embarrassing.

Voted sack, I said before the FA cup final we could win it 10-0 and I'd still sack him due to how the rest of the season went
I do NOT want Southgate though, that'll be out the frying pan and into the fire

Tuchel. It's not even a debate.
We already have a sack/keep poll already 
I was firmly in the ETH out camp, even after the FA Cup final and in all honesty had very little hope/optimism going into this season.
Ineos have put themselves in a tricky situation. Sack him so soon and it looks like an open admission that they fecked up in the summer, keep him for longer and it doesn't improve - it makes their decision look even worse as they had an opportunity to get someone else in.
I'd get rid but it will feel like a bit of an own goal given whoever the replacement is wasn't trusted to get the job in the summer and inheriting a team mid season is never ideal.

They already do look like mugs, but they'll regain some favour if they act quickly and decisively this season. Imagine if we don't beat Southampton in two weeks time, what then?
